I have over 20 varieties of tea - proper leaf tea, not hay-cushions.

Fusspot. ;-) I've never been able to go in for the scented teas at all and
am just plain old builder's tea, for preference. Have you - bringing us
back to some form of on-topic - tried the 'new' tea grown down in Cornwall?

I don't drink tea, just freshly brewed coffee. Instant coffee gives
me a tummy upset.

Yes, I have tried the 'Tea from Cornwall' and liked it.

Where did you get it, Jennifer? I *think* I read it was going to be sold at
Fortnum & Mason? It must have taken a good few years of patience before
they got to the stage of their first harvest.

but strong black tea with plenty of tannin in it is known to fix upset
stomachs,
try it.

So's port & brandy mixed - I know which I'd go for and it wouldn't be in a
cup. ;-)

Once, with two hours to kill at Victoria Bus Station in the early 1980s
I was window-shopping, and happened upon a tea merchant.

Wanting some Lapsang, I went in and admired the stock. Also wanting some
Darjeeling to make up a batch of my own special blend (Watch it! I feel
a story coming on!) I asked the proprietor what he had in the way of a
really strongly-flavoured Lapsang, and a good Darjeeling.

He showed me his best Darjeeling. Now remember, this was the early '80s...

£14.20 for 125 grammes.

My ghast was totally flabbered. "Who on earth buys tea at *THAT* price?"
I asked.

I was assured that plenty of people did ("Poseurs!" I thought.) and,
which would I rather, a cup of good tea or a glass of Coke?

I replied that that was easily answered, as I abhorred Coke with a
vengeance, and wouldn't touch the stuff with *HIS* bargepole, but would
rather drink water.

"Well," he said, "a cup of that tea is still cheaper than a glass of Coke."

"But a bit dearer than water." I countered.

Anyone interested in good tea look at
http://www.norwichlanes.co.uk/Wilkin...f_Norwich.html - I have been
known to go in there and come out thirty and a bit pounds lighter - in
the wallet...

However, considerably heavier in the rucksack.
